    Okay? You are right. Singapore and Switzerland were more than enough to make my point along with the other examples. But apparently Hong Kong doesn't have a VAT.

    VAT may be preferred to an income tax. But do you favor a VAT over a flat sale tax?

    Yes, because it's harder to evade, as mentioned earlier.

    The end user would have no reason to want to reduce government spending because from his point of view it is not costing him anything. Yes, people are that stupid. That's why I don't like taxes that people can't see.

    Vat is hidden in the price of goods. Sales tax is added on to it. They both have the same net effect to the consumer but one is more noticable.
